Patriot's Day!

What a great event. We ended up with a total of 16 shooters who enjoyed excellent weather and got to see Three'oEight dressed in period costume singing America the Beautiful.  O0

We saw some amazing improvement across the board with five walking away with the coveted Rifleman patch - huzaaaah! This was Elaine's second event and she has gone from barely on paper to scoring very well on the AQT - excellent persistence! Her fine son Spencer stuck it out and enjoyed much improvement. It's always a pleasure to work with great kids - gives me hope for our future.

Congrats on making score to:
Chris 223
Larry 221
John 226
Jim 223
Brad 215

To thems who failed to show - you missed out! I truly enjoyed meeting and spending time with each of you.
In Liberty,

All men have been endowed by their Creator with the unalienable right to keep and bear arms.  All we have do is protect it.

It was a great weekend with improvement by everyone!

Kim's first time even handling her rifle was Saturday! She went from struggling to get hits on paper to scoring over 100 on one of her AQTs Sunday!

HUZZZZZAAAAAH!

Priceless!  O0 As I always say - the onliest pay we receive is in the improvement of your marksmanship. Oddly, it is this sort of thing that I love the most - that I feel "pays me" the most. Yes, it's great to see someone make score at their first or second event, but when I see someone persist - really persist - refuse to give up - that's my personal favorite.

Huzaaaaah!

Very happy I was a part of Sunday's event and very proud to be with great people.

"We have always looked upon men as a set of beings naturally free - that a people can never be divested of those invaluable rights and liberties which are necessary to the happiness of individuals, to the well-beings of communities or to a well regulated state, but by their own negligence, imprudence, timidity or rashness. They are seldom lost, but when foolishly forfeited or tamely resigned." ~Jonas Clarke

Ha! Proof!

PHenry really does wear the name tag Rebecca gave him and, contrary to all the talk, actually does work at events!  ^-^

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. - Ronald Reagan

And the only photo I have of the day... How did that happen?
